I think our schedule this year was good; competitive all around. We played well at San Francisco, but Montana's game at Northern Iowa really set us back in ratings.

Griz are not built to win these games. I watch other teams that have what it takes to upset better teams. They play with confidence, they are composed versus the grizzlies which are like deer in the headlights. They play the same exact game every time they play a high caliber team. The last teams that walked on the court with confidence and knowledge that they could beat anybody were Krystkowiak’s teams. Travis has done a nice job in conference, but when it comes to playing big teams, he just doesn’t get it done with the teams that he has don’t have what it takes to get wins in the NCAA tournament.
So says Mr. Basketball. I didn’t see that at all, “deer in the headlights” quote. The Griz were undersized and the Badgers rotated to our shooters quicker than what we’re accustomed too. The Griz played their hearts out. We missed shots under the basket because we had two seven footers to contend with.
extremely disappointing. One kid that could’ve went off and kept us in the game. You need that when you’re the little guy. He looked pretty tight considering he couldn’t make a wide open 10 foot bunny the full 40 mins. Good and fun season. Winning the big sky and making the tourney is our “championship” anyway.
Gotta go 30-4 like UC San Diego did this year. Definitely not holding my breath for that to happen lol
Getting blown out by Idaho State probably didn't help either.
I think you mean they came up short
I'm not disappointed in Money at all. He didn't have a very good game but the 24-25 season has been full of ups and downs for him both on and off the court. Him having to balance tremendous loss, early season hype, being benched, winning 6th man, and playing in his first tourney game really had to test the guy mentally. I think for better or worse he'll reflect back on this season/year as a year of growth through both grief and maturity. If he can build off of it he'll be a force in the years to come.
The teams who play in the early games get sent home. So unfortunately the GRIZ didn't get to experience all this to the Dance.
It's clear as a bub you didn't watch the game. The GRIZ were in NO WAY intimidated or "deer in the headlights". They got beat by a better team after suffering some rather one-side officiating on ticky tack shit that rarely gets called in the tournament which led to foul trouble.
Hell, the GRIZ had a Bdub 3-ball rattle out in the second half that would have cut the lead to one. Trust me, you could tell by the reaction of the Wisconsin fans and their bench after they scored after that miss that they knew they were in a ballgame and were fortunate Brandon's ball didn't fall.
Not to mention keeping a second team big boy all American in check all game. We punched out of our weight class for a good portion of the game to the Big Ten runner up given the difference in height and athleticism. The announcers lauded whisky for a 54% shooting game. We missed a lot of shots that were good looks and if the guys shoot their season average on those looks alone it’s a damn close game. I’ll take that showing over a first four loss to a 16 seed any day.
Yeah, if we shoot close to our yearly average, we're at least talking about losing barnburner.

The questionable charge call on Pridgen to give him his fourth foul was the end of the game. He went on the bench and even when he returned he couldn’t play with the same aggression. Without shooting a higher percentage we aren’t going to win a game like this as well.
Absolutely, disappointed was the wrong word to use. He had an amazing season especially with what he’s been through. Would just like to at least be competitive to the end in a tourney game and I’m giving him praise by saying he’s the guy that could do that for us! Of course it would take the whole squad but you often see a guy go off to help facilitate an upset.
They did not play like deer in the headlights!
I love Joe but that was an offensive foul.
These deer in the headlights comments. Jfc.
I'm giving some credit to Wisconsin coaches for watching tape on the Griz. Their rotation to Brandon and Malik was unreal. The coaches spotted that in prepping their game plan, and came up with a way to neutralize it. That quick step, drive, stop and pop was totally taken away by Wisconsin D. Hats off to Wisconsin coaches for a plan.
